Kpdf should use poppler to reduce security load on the kde team A patch to do that is already used by ubuntu for some time and available at: http://kubuntu.org/~jriddell/kubuntu_05_poppler.diff
I'm working on this right now, autofoo needs cleanup, going to test soon...
Modified patch with sane autofoo ready and seems to work, testing now with kpdf-3.5.1-r1. I'm all for pushing this, it means that at least we have not to think for kpdf 3.5.x about security stuff... yet 3.3 and 3.4 will still need to be took care of.
Seems like both with and without the patch KPDF 3.5.1 doesn't crash with the PDF it should crash with. But interesting enough: flame@enterprise ~ $ qsize kpdf kde-base/kpdf-3.5.1: 28 files, 45 non-files, 8865.458 KB flame@enterprise ~ $ qsize kpdf kde-base/kpdf-3.5.1-r1: 28 files, 45 non-files, 5058.488 KB Both compiled with the same settings and CFLAGS, the first without the patch and the first with. I'm all for merging this patch, but I'm going to wait for genstef's testcase first.
The testcase works for me.

KDE 3.3 is not supported anymore security wise. Time to remove the ebuilds from the tree, imho. I'm all for using poppler, too. Preferably, kde.org would do this finally. Stefan: Have the Kubuntu guys KOffice patched as well?
I actually had kpdf ebuild ready, but with the conflict I have to cancel the commit :| Now I'm waiting for python to complete rebuilding then I'll add kpdf 3.5.1-r2 and kdegraphics 3.5.1-r2 with the poppler patch.
Okay both in tree...
